Abstract

LSE’s Nick Anstead, Lee Edwards, Sonia Livingstone and Mariya Stoilova reflect on the findings of a recent rapid evidence analysis of media literacy interventions. They observe the benefits of encouraging critical thinking and reflexivity, as well as evidence that gamification can reduce vulnerability to dis- and misinformation. But they also note many evidence gaps, which suggest promising directions for future research.
